Blake Lively’s court case with her co-star Justin Baldoni took another surprising turn after new papers revealed a private moment between them.
The documents said Baldoni visited Lively’s home in New York in December 2022, when she was expecting a baby.
During a casual talk about her pregnancy, the conversation reportedly shifted to whether her unborn son would be circumcised.
At that point, the director and actor told the actress that he was circumcised.
However, the papers said this comment was made in a room where several people were present, including Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds nannies and assistants.
This new detail became part of A Simple Favor actress’ push to take the case to trial.
She claimed that the actot made her uncomfortable during the making of It Ends With Us and said this moment showed how the atmosphere around the project felt wrong to her.
Her lawyers argued that the comment added to a pattern they believed crossed personal boundaries.
Baldoni denied her claims, as his legal team said the conversation was harmless and argued that Lively was trying to use ordinary moments to support a false story.
They even asked the court to dismiss the case, saying there was no proof of the behaviour she described.
Moreover, the judge set a trial date for March 9, 2026 and this meant both sides would have more time to prepare for a long legal fight.
The newly shared detail about the conversation added more attention to a case.
